HDSL4 239 H4R Repeater Installation and Maintenance Practice Training ADTRAN offers training courses on our products. These courses include overviews on product features and functions while covering applications of ADTRAN product lines. ADTRAN provides a variety of training options, including customized training and courses taught at our facilities or at customer sites.
ADTRAN HDSL4 239 H4R Repeater (239 H4R, P/N XXXXXXXLX) regenerates the HDSL4 signal, extending the range of the HDSL4 circuit. The 239 H4R has enhanced troubleshooting capabilities in the presence of shorts or ground faults on the customer side of the repeater.
DS1 to customer equipment. The H4TU-C provides testing, provi- sioning, and performance monitoring capabilities that address circuit status. Features The List 2 239 H4R has the same basic features as the List 1 239 H4R (P/N 61223445L1), and enhanced features and capabilities. Basic Features The basic features of the 239 H4R include the following: •...
Introduction Ground Fault or Short Detection If a short or ground fault is detected, the 239 H4R will keep the relays open and continue to monitor the customer-side interface until the fault condition clears. During the fault condition, the network-side of that repeater can function normally, allowing for synchroni- zation and loopback/sectionalization testing up to that repeater.
Voltages up to –200 VDC with respect to ground and between individual telecommunications conductors may be present. The HDSL4 239 H4R Repeater (P/N XXXXXXXLX) is NRTL Listed to the applicable UL standards. The HDSL4 239 H4R Repeater (239 H4R) meets or exceeds all the applicable requirements of NEBS, Telcordia GR-63-CORE, and GR-1089-CORE.

Introduction NOTE The HDSL4 input and output ports are classified as Type 3 and 5, as defined in Appendix B of GR-1089-CORE Issue 4, and meets the lightning and power fault criteria with primary protectors that meet any of the voltage limits of GR-974-CORE or GR-1361-CORE (i.e., carbon blocks, gas tubes, and solid state).
H4TU-C in use. A 239 H4R provides DS1 transport on all revised resistance design (RRD) 26 AWG loops, 24 AWG loops, or both. Three 239 H4R repeaters can be added to extend the range of a loop.
SUBJECT TO ELECTROSTATIC DAMAGE OR DECREASE IN RELIABILITY. HANDLING PRECAUTIONS REQUIRED. After unpacking the 239 H4R, inspect it for damage. If damage has occurred, file a claim with the carrier then contact ADTRAN Customer Service. Refer to “Appendix A, Warranty”...
A retainer latch is available for securing the 239 H4R in the case. • When the 239 H4R first powers up, it runs a power up self-test. Once the power up self- test is complete, the status LEDs reflect the true state of the hardware (see...
Installation Front Panel LEDs The 239 H4R provides front panel LEDs that display status information. Table 3 lists the 239 H4R LEDs and status descriptions. Table 3. Front Panel LEDs Label Status Description No span power is present LP1/LP2 NET...
200 ms can be bridged. Bad Splice Detection This 239 H4R supports the Runtime TScan 2.0™ Bad Splice Detection (TScan w/BSD) feature, an ADTRAN proprietary, non-intrusive algorithm for detection of anomalies (bad splices) in the copper plant. This feature monitors the cable pair during runtime for the presence of bad splices that can potentially impact service.
Feature Details Splices that are varying in impedance cause the HDSL data pump to see a reduced and/or fluctuating signal quality (margin). The HDSL data pump attempts to track these changes. When the changes become too severe, errors or loss of synchronization result. View Splice Results Screen Access to the Bad Splice Detection feature is through the Troubleshooting screen, using the craft access terminal of the H4TU-C or H4TU-R.
HDSL4 239 H4R Repeater Installation and Maintenance Practice Fast Retrain Fast Retrain is an ADTRAN-proprietary feature that minimizes downtime when an inter- mittent, non-power related impairment (bad splice, noise burst, etc.) affects the HDSL loop and cannot be bridged. When such an impairment occurs after achieving HDSL synchronization, Fast Retrain is invoked to restore service within 5 to 7 seconds.
All connections take place through card edge connectors. Table 4 provides the card edge pin assignments. CAUTION The 239 H4R dissipates a maximum of 5.4 watts. CAUTION Ensure that the chassis ground is securely connected to the OSP apparatus case.
Signal-to-Noise Ratio Margin and Attenuation status indications for the circuit. 239 H4R Capacity Guidelines The 239 H4R is designed for installation in a prewired apparatus case. Table 5 Table 6 define the capacity guidelines for deployment. The housing capacity numbers are based on testing results.
Maintenance MAINTENANCE The 239 H4R requires no routine maintenance for normal operation. Do not attempt repairs in the field. Repair services may be obtained by returning the defective unit to ADTRAN. Refer to “Appendix A, Warranty” for further information. In case of equipment malfunction, perform an in-band loopback from the Central Office. If a malfunction is confirmed, replace the unit.
